Michael Douma does not have any more versions to submit.
To me, Walter et al have the most interesting and appropriate logo. It immediately conjures the "spam assassin" feel, with a significant sense of email protection and murderousness. The strength of my designs is that they are more subtle (think "corporate"), and link more to the apache project.
I am sure that both Walter and I would be willing to work on final improvements if ours is chosen. You will probably need to do a voting within our versions. This has been a fun project.
Lastly, as a designer, I can tell you that rebranding is always somewhat stressful. The new logo never seems quite right at first, but within a few weeks/months you will totally absorb it. Therefore, you should choose the "best" logo, not the logo that seems like the easiest migration. Also, choose a logo that you will enjoy having a few years from now as well. On T-shirts. On business cards. On posters. (there are called "collateral"). The the big SpamAssassin conference in Las Vegas in 2007.

comments, anyone?
This could go around in discussion for a while. There are only three designers in running. Let's short-circuit the discussion by asking them. I'm posting this bugzilla comment via email and Cc'ing the designers.
Designers -
We would like to vote. Do any of you have anything more to submit or are you ready for us to make our final decision?
Please answer one way or the other as soon as possible
